Super Visa
If you have children or grandchildren in Canada and want to visit them, then you may be eligible to get a Super Visa. A Super Visa is especially for parents and grandparents, and the visa allows multiple entries for up to 10 years, with the maximum stay at a time being two years.
If you are not going to stay in Canada for more than six months and may not visit frequently, then a visitor visa may suffice. Click here to know more about visitor visa

Super Visa for Visa Exempt people
Few people who are visa-exempted foreign nationals may travel to Canada for short stays (up to 6 months) via air using something called an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). This is electronically linked to the person’s passport and is valid for five years. Such individuals may not need a separate visitor visa as this is considered a digital visa waiver.
Even if you are visa exempted, you may still apply for Super Visa if you want to stay in Canada for a extended period of time
